Oh, just a bit of fun this evening. President Obama was talking military issues at Camp Pendleton today when he referenced his wifes and Dr. Jill Bidens work on behalf of military families, only he couldnt remember one of their names. Better Jill than Michelle, I suppose:
And, on Jay Lenos show last night, the president showed a great interest in deepening the nations ports, but not a lot of geographical aptitude.
If we dont deepen our ports all along the Gulf places like Charleston, South Carolina, or Savannah, Georgia, or Jacksonville, Florida if we dont do that, those ships are going to go someplace else. And well lose jobs. Businesses wont locate here.
Yes, one could assume for the president that he meant along the Gulf AND places like Charleston
Savannah
Jacksonville, none of which are on the Gulf of Mexico, just as we all would have assumed thats what George W. Bush meant in a moment of misspeaking, right?

This is your brain on drugs....
I guess they don’t teach U.S. geography in Indonesian schools. Yes, I know he went to HS in Hawaii, I guess they don’t teach geography there either.
I don’t mind that someone with aPhD wants to be called “Doctor” - it is a title they earned, but I do feel misled that she is not a medical doctor.
I keep telling my children that when I grow up I am going to get PhD in Physics and I am going to make them call me DOCTOR daddy.
Maybe in Indonesia, the Muslim schools teach about the Gulf of Atlantica.
I’m a lawyer and I insist on being called DR Ted Grant.
Yes, but wouldn’t that leave the panhandle in Alabama? Now that I think about it, I guess it already is anyway. Okay, let’s roll!
He was probably thinking, “along the golf” anyway......
Really,He looked like he could barely keep his eyes open.Sometimes you just can’t wing it.He has been doing very poorly on speaking lately.Something is up.
“Yes it takes a great deal of work to earn one in any field. Biden has the thing that she has to remind everyone of it.”
Barb Boxer said something similar when a General she was questioning, at a hearing, addressed her as Mam. She informed him she is a Senator and must be addressed as such.
That's the irony. Obama has gotten through life by pretending he's black. He must have learned very young in life that he didn't do very well when judged by normal standards of excellence. So he just kept checking that box "African American".
Obama's an idiot and a bully. He won because of racism. Whites who are racist have to compensate so they show "tolerance" by deferring to him. One reason Romney lost is his racism (JMHO). After that first debate he backed off rather that be as tough on Obama as he was on Gingrich and the others.
Summary....my contention is that it's racist to say that nothing is Obama's fault and that he's so intelligent. What could be more racist than to not hold Obama to the same standard as past presidents?
IMO, anyone who is a PhD and not a medical doctor, who insists others address them as Doctor, is a pompous-ass.
She was in the habit of answering the phone? Outrageous!
Thank Goodness nobama doesn’t demand to be addressed as”professor” because of the brief stint at U of C as some sort of parttime lecturor. As to others being called “doctor”, it depends on the setting as to whether or not they are being pretentious. Getting a PhD does take considerable effort.
Yes, same arrogance!
Medical doctorates came well after PhDs were around -hundreds of years after. The profession of medicine came out of the trade of being a barber who were involved with minor surgical procedures. In the UK, surgeons ae still differentiated from ordinary physicians by the title Mr. or Ms., which is considered a higher title.
I thought it was in Education...
Nobody dumber than an "ed" major.

I doubt they teach much about the US in Hawaii.
